Title: Method of producing sauteed vegetables
Inventor: BELL JAMES ST JOHN
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 2007-07-03
Granted: 2014-10-21
Abstract: Sautéed vegetables are used as a building block in the preparation of sauces, soups and meal solutions and are easily prepared on a kitchen scale. On scaling up the same method used at kitchen scale to industrial scale, the problem of heat transfer results in vegetables either not browning and developing the savoury and caramelised flavour of sautéed vegetables or becoming soggy and limp from over cooking. This problem is solved by using a process for the preparation of a food composition, such as sautéed vegetables, comprising the steps of: (a) comminuting a first portion of the composition of 70- 97% by weight to a particle size of 1-20 mm in diameter, wherein the first portion comprises at least one raw vegetable selected from the group consisting of alliums, carrots, mushrooms, celeriac, fennel and Jerusalem artichoke; (b) comminuting a second portion of the composition of 30- 3% by weight to a particle size of less than 1 mm in diameter, wherein the second portion comprises at least one raw allium; (c) heating the second portion in oil to a temperature of 100-140 degrees Centigrade thereby to reduce the water content of the said portion to less than 20% by weight; and then (d) combining the first portion and the second portion, wherein the weight ratio of the second portion and the oil is at least 75:25.

Title: Method and apparatus for handoff of a wireless packet data services connection
Inventor: ABROL NISCHAL
IPC: H04W84/08
Filed: 2001-12-04
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus is disclosed for performing seamless handoff of a mobile station (MS) between Radio Access Networks (RANs) that use different types of wireless interfaces. The described embodiments enable an MS to handoff between different RANs without causing routing ambiguity, and without substantial loss of network data. Upon moving from the coverage area of a first RAN using a first wireless interface to the coverage area of a second RAN using a second wireless interface, an MS determines whether routing ambiguity may result from the change of RAN and, based on the determination, triggers a re--registration of its network address. A foreign agent (FA) within a packet data serving node (PDSN) monitors network address re-registrations are being created for the same MS. Based on this determination, the PDSN terminates redundant R-P network connections resulting from movement of the MS between different RANs.

Abstract: A servo control system comprising a hydraulic actuator, a position sensor and a hydraulic control valve. The hydraulic actuator is coupled to a gas controlled valve. The position sensor measures the position of the hydraulic actuator and sends the position of the actuator as an input to an engine control unit (ECU). The hydraulic control valve is coupled to a proportional solenoid coupled to the ECU. When the ECU senses the position of the hydraulic actuator and in response to a control input, the ECU commands the position of the hydraulic control valve by controlling the force of the proportional solenoid and the hydraulic fluid sent to the hydraulic actuator, actuating the hydraulic actuator to move to a desired position and actuate the gas controlled valve.
